Thoughts on Hell
The idea of divine retribution is one which is pervasive because humans are indelibly vindictive creatures. The agenda for one evening at the local symphony was a production of Hector Berlioz' Requiem, and a production it was. A full chorus on stage, four timpanists and four brass choirs arranged in the corners of the concert hall. We sat perched on the edge of the balcony, stage right. The lights dimmed. The music began. Immediately, and indeed throughout the performance, I was taken aback at the overwhelming immensity of the piece. Though full of simple chord progressions and harmonies, some minor, others major, the unforgiving point of the entire Requiem was awe and fear. The piece was large, looming, awesome and terrifying, from the melodies of the flutes to the words of the chorus. Perhaps it was merely the mood in which I happened to be, but I was struck by the notion that a God who would demand such frightened reverence is not only a God I would not love and worship, but a God at whom I grew tremendously angry. I was reminded of a passage in Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy which described that god of fear and awe, the god of destruction as well as creation, the god of Job, of the Aztecs, Moloch and Kali, as a god trapped in time - the dreadful theology that arises when the eternal Godhead is removed, by our own devices, from eternity and placed into the causal reality of the natural world. How strange and appalling it is to believe in such a god, and to try and reconcile this divine wrath with divine love! Berlioz wrote singly to that god of power, not the God of power, wisdom and love. If we lose any portion of the Godhead in our perception of the Divine (in other words, if we allow our own clouded sight to define the boundaries of what is and what is not, instead of accounting for our limited understanding), it is no wonder we arrive at something which leaves us apprehensive of God.
"A young man may keep himself from vice by continually thinking of disease. He may keep himself from it also by continually thinking of the Virgin Mary. There may be question about which method is the more reasonable, or even about which is the more efficient. But surely there can be no question about which is the more wholesome," wrote G.K. Chesterton in Heretics. In a puritan and strict pamphlet once published by G.W. Foote, the author "dismissed very contemptuously any attempts to deal with the problem of strong drink by religious offices or intercessions, and said that a picture of a drunkard's liver would be more efficacious in the matter of temperance than any prayer or praise." But this "fire and brimstone" approach to sin - the idea of scaring someone into submission to a cause or belief - can never truly work. "In that picturesque expression," Chesterton writes of the pamphlet, "it seems to me, is perfectly embodied the incurable morbidity of modern ethics. In that temple the lights are low, the crowds kneel, the solemn anthems are uplifted. But that upon the altar to which all men kneel is no longer the perfect flesh, the body and substance of the perfect man; it is still flesh, but it is diseased. It is the drunkard's liver of the New Testament that is marred for us, which we take in remembrance of him." Frightening a person with the possibility of hell may, for the time being, scare them into outwardly behaving as they are told. But "there is no fear in love, for perfect love drives out fear" (1 John 4:18), and so we find ultimately that providing a person with a higher goal - God - will do infinitely more to change that person for the better than does providing them with only the "diseased flesh" and threat of vindictive judgment of hell.
Evangelical Protestants, militant Muslims, and several other religions are nefarious for this "God as judge" viewpoint. But, as John Smith the Platonist once quoted, "Such as men themselves are, such will God Himself seem to them to be." The doctrine of eternal damnation is only one of these "traditions of men," brought about by a dogmatic understanding of scripture couched in an ideal of God as judge instead of God as merciful father. "It is difficult," says Conrad Noel in Jesus the Heretic, "to imagine a person so utterly corrupt as to merit hell, or a God so impotent as to be unable eventually to draw all men to himself." Indeed, this fits with the more Eastern thought of reincarnation - we are allowed a second, and perhaps even a hundredth or ten-thousandth chance. If, in our greatest, most selfless, most altruistic, and most loving moments, when we are most like God, we pardon even the greatest of trespasses, why should we not believe God to do the same? "Some interpretations of the doctrine of the Atonement which have been held by professing Christians are definitely anti-Christian. There is, as the outstanding example, the doctrine that God the Father was so angry with the human race because of its sins that he condemned the whole race to everlasting torture in hell; that his more merciful Son shed his blood on the Cross in order to appease the Father's wrath; and that on account of this blood-shedding those people who should afterwards be `converted' (and only those) would be let off this awful punishment and admitted to heaven when they die.... This interpretation is one variation of the general view that Jesus, by his death on the Cross, effected a favourable change in the mind of God towards men. This view, even when held in a less repulsive form than the one I have just described, is definitely unorthodox. For the orthodox teaching is that nothing could change, or is needed favourably to change, the mind of God towards men. The one thing upon which we can rely is... God's `eternal changelessness.' It is the mind of men towards God and his purpose for human life that needs changing," Robert Woodifield aptly wrote in Catholicism: Humanist and Democratic. This reminds us that a literal translation of any Scripture - or, similarly, a legalistic one - is not always appropriate. If we see God this way, it is easy to assume that heaven is some kind of reward for the good (or the "saved"), and hell a punishment for the eternally damned. F.D. Maurice argues, "Mankind stands not in Adam but in Christ. This relation is fixed, established, certain. It existed in Christ before all worlds. It was manifested when he came in the flesh." God is ours to find in the world, but not in fear. "There is no fear in love."

"... the dreadful theology that arises when the eternal Godhead is removed, by our own devices, from eternity and placed into the causal reality of the natural world."ReplyDelete
Sorry, but these are one and the same- all gods, headed or not, arise from our imaginations, whether positive of negative. I agree that trying to make sense of these constructions in any logical, physical way leads us grievously astray. But that is simply a comment on the overall concept, which can not be reconciled with any sensible system.
Are we pathetic creatures? Yes indeed. But we shouldn't get too down about it, or make up horror movie phantasms to scare and entertain ourselves- certainly not if we end up taking them seriously.
"Such as men themselves are, such will God Himself seem to them to be."
Just so- I couldn't say it better myself. Your sentiments don't seem quite accurate, however. Your dismissal of hell as ineffective comes about purely because you don't believe in it. If you did believe, it would be a mightily effective spur to do whatever you had to do to stay out. Thus our pleasant liberal sentiments of today are more an index of unbelief than of higher morals or discernment. For the scriptures tell of hell and eternal damnation, thus it must exist.
Oh, sorry- but we shouldn't take scriptures literally. We should take it .. as it pleases us? I find this a curious but fitting counterpart to the argument above that the whole topic is imaginary to start with.
Alright, sorry to be so difficult, but the seriousness of your post sort of cracked me up. With appreciation- Burk
Burk~ you certainly "caught" me; I don't believe in hell. At least, not the kind of hell that people believe hell to be. If anything, hell is what I suffer in isolating myself from other human beings by means of my own "sinful" devices. I bring it upon myself, actively.ReplyDelete
I don't necessarily believe I'm being liberal in my theology. It's not whether or not we like something that determines its reality - I don't ignore hell because I don't like it, nor do I actively choose which Bible verses I like and which I don't and decide their worth on that. The point is that I can find inspiration and truth in anything from a piece of art to a fairytale to a religious text, but all must be taken with an equal grain of salt. It is only true in so far as it is ubiquitously understood to be true (and really, whether or not that truth comes from God or from Jung's collective unconscious is not for me to decide). What I know to be true tells me that I should not waste my time on fickle pursuits like lust; I may not like it, but I know it's true regardless.
Didn't mean to be so serious (said with a pouty face). It was partially a response to one of Reitan's posts. And don't let me claim this "liberal" theology of hell's nonexistence as my own... plenty of more religious folk before me have argued for it.
Any 1st person approach to the human condition begins and ends with ourselves. Any tradition we use as guide will have faults and merits. There is no problem with picking and choosing which Scriptures offer insight into our hopeful nature and which ones offer insight into our negative nature. The great strength of Scripture is its humanity.ReplyDelete
The decision to make Scripture inerrant comes from the authority of the individual reading it. We can use that same authority to measure its worth "as it comes." The ultimate authority is with ourselves.
Hell has scared the hell out of me many times in life. But I think it is completely contrary to any IDEA of a loving God.
I do think the idea of Universalism is one of the most beautiful ideas man has come up with. It balances dangerous free will with the safety net of a loving determinism. We all end up in the same place, but it's up to us as to how long and hard the process takes. Of course this works for an atheist view as well!
Berlioz still rules though.
Don't get me wrong - I love Symphonie Fantastique. :-)ReplyDelete
In case you haven't seen it, my most recent post bounces off of your post here. And comments on that post are giving birth to a follow-up even as I write this (well, okay, I'm pausing from grading term papers AND from writing a follow-up post in order to write this comment).ReplyDelete
Hi, Eric-ReplyDelete
I enjoyed your post thoroughly, while resisting the temptation to comment (imagine Strangelovian arm-slapping here .. No, No, NO! N*&^).
The thought it brought to mind was that we all (or most) really seek the same thing, to achieve an ethical and fulfilling position, drawing on all the sources of enjoyment, consciousness, and discernment we can. It is a vast and positive step, I agree, to foreswear representing and imagining a deity. But what is left, especially for those who might not have riveting inner spiritual and artistic experiences?
If the spiritual/numinous experience can be critically construed as a powerful natural/brain/inner experience, (promoting it from a bit of undigested meat, perhaps), and this interpretation fits neatly with everything else know about us, the world, brains, etc., what is so wrong with that? Couldn't we cherish that we have strong positive impulses to wholeness, healing, nurturing, and not overinterpret them ... imaginatively?
You go right there all over again in your post, with "more profound", "beyond the empirical surface", etc. The experience's significance need not be a function of its imagined origin or mundane substrate. People have knowingly taken LSD and still had numinous experiences of great life-changing significance, and we have no need to invoke transempirical ... etc. and so forth...
That seems to end up in the same place, morally and in other salient respects, and also puts the moral burden right where it ought to be- on us to continue the cultivation of self and others to bring out our better natures, while keeping an eye on truth through philosophy. Letting this responsibility slip through our fingers to otherworldly agents and setups of heaven, hell, etc. is both unworthy and in practice full of problems.
I apologize in advance for "fuzzy thinking".ReplyDelete
Does a term like "beyond the empirical surface" etc. imply something counter to this material universe? Does it have to? Does non-material really mean non-material here or does it mean something we can't quite master and understand, because we're a part of it ourselves? There may be terminology to blame here more than anything.
Which is more essential to who we are? Our deepest feelings or our reason? Are our feelings the origin of our reason, even if our reason can go back and affect our feelings?
Is the world bigger as experienced from (our limited view of) the inside or as described from (the attempted view of) the outside?
Is all of life a self-refuting balancing act?
"The thought it brought to mind was that we all (or most) really seek the same thing, to achieve an ethical and fulfilling position, drawing on all the sources of enjoyment, consciousness, and discernment we can."ReplyDelete
Bravo and well said.
This goes back to my previous comment - do we argue from pure reason or is reason the tool to justify our pre-existing positions established for mostly aesthetic reasons?
Of course I think both are true. I love sitting on fences I suppose.
Thanks, Steven-ReplyDelete
Of your proposition, both are true. We argue from our feelings and aesthetics, which are the principle ingredients of morals/values, and also from reason, which can help reconcile our endlessly conflicting feelings, and make sense of much else besides. Each has its purposes. In fairness, feelings are more important to who we are.
But we shouldn't be arguing that we feel that the sun revolves around the earth. That is making a category error, mistaking feelings for reason. That we have amazing positive or negative feelings simply doesn't justify elaborating counter-factual and counter-reason-able schemes of reality, necessitating the fig leaf of supernaturalism / magical realism, etc., even if we don't yet know precisely where those feelings come from.
Feelings are critical as premises for subjective arguments, morals, and a lot else, but veridical? No, they are not veridical in the way that reason is, about objective reality. (A fraught term, but I really don't know how else to put it.)
I agree, but I am fascinated by how there is no pure reason without a foundation of subjective decisions to support it.
For instance, one simple decision is whether or not (or how much) we trust our senses. I think all of us would agree that to some point we have to, so this is not provocative. But there is still a decision to be made.
I'm not sure I'm putting too much out there that is thought-provoking, it's just fascinating to me for instance that
1. I think I am one small part of a vast everything
2. Who tells me this? the small me!
I am working on a post about our multiple selves - the small self vs. the ultimate authority self, for instance.
But I haven't found anything too interesting yet......
aw hell. (just to bring us back on topic)
Hi, Steven-ReplyDelete
I'm not so sure about the subjective decisions part. We are innately wired to see the world in certain ways. Eyes see colors split up in a spectrum, we perceive and like certain notes/sounds, etc. This is our foundation, and I wouldn't call it all "feelings". Much of it could be called hard-wired, perhaps involuntary rather than subjective decisions. Our alternative might be to not live at all, so being alive means to take some things as given .. perhaps what Kant meant with his a priori's
But then we find ways to calibrate these foundations when we experience (empirically) that they are not working well. We get glasses to see better, and we get hearing aids, and come up with science. And we figure out that our strongest feelings are often endogenous rather than gods speaking to us.
I think we're on the same page, I don't mean that I am going to physically see things differently depending on my point of view.....(or do I? hmmm). But I am thinking more that whatever we think is true is because we decide it is true - including the idea that we cannot know always know things correctly - which is self-refuting (not that we have a choice).ReplyDelete
"And we figure out that our strongest feelings are often endogenous rather than gods speaking to us."
No difference to me.
Boys~ I've been trying to keep up with the discussion, but being away for the weekend hasn't helped! Fascinating stuff, though.ReplyDelete
Burk, I've always wondered why in particular we value reason over emotion. I'm not trying to incite anything here, believe me - I've spend nearly my whole life trying to subjugate my emotions to my rationality, with limited success. But it's true that we, at least in certain current and historical contexts, weight our brain over our heart. But isn't this weighting subjective to begin with? Shouldn't we be suspicious that the one telling us to trust our brain is none other than our brain (how deliciously sinister!)?
We certainly have ways to "calibrate" our reason, but isn't the same true of our emotion? Trusting reason over emotion seems to be a bit of a fallacy; it must be balanced, because neither is inherently good or evil. It reminds me of a quote by St. Bernard, which, loosely translated, reads thus: "What would learning do without love? It would inflate. What would love do without learning? It would err."
Hi, Kelley-ReplyDelete
Just so.. you might enjoy my latest post.
We can't "trust" either reason or emotion, but have to cultivate each with care and continual calibration, where each informs the other, in view of empirical results. So yes, I'd agree completely with Mr. Bernard.
I have always thought of our emotions as a river and our reason as a series of dams. The feelings must flow, but perhaps we can direct them in more (or less) successful directions.ReplyDelete

Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology and Molecular Bioscience
"Biotechnology" is defined as the use of living systems to develop or make useful products that are be beneficial to animals particularly humans. In 1983, RIT became the first university in the nation to offer a bachelor of science degree in what was then a very new, yet exciting discipline. Recently, the name of the program was changed to "biotechnology and molecular bioscience" to reflect the evolving nature of the discipline giving the fact that molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, plant biology etc. are integral disciplines in the field of biotechnology.
Students enrolled in the biotechnology and molecular bioscience program at RIT will be exposed to dynamic professors who are leaders in their fields both in the class room for tradition instruction and also in the classroom and research laboratories for experiential learning.
To view the a more detailed list of courses for this program, click here.
Building on a core of biology, chemistry, math, and liberal arts, the courses in this major are taught from a molecular bioscience perspective and are focused on the central genetic dogma of molecular biology. The curriculum explores the rapidly-expanding field of genetic engineering and almost unlimited potential that controlled genetic experiments hold for improving the quality of life. Specialized areas of interest include recombinant DNA, mammalian and plant tissue culture, and monoclonal antibody production.
Co-operative education placements for biotechnology and molecular bioscience students are optional and tend to be in national corporations that lead the field. Your assignment could include isolating, identifying, and sequencing genes for an established biotech company or analyzing data on a cancer research team at a pharmaceutical company. Graduates have an enhanced edge when applying to leading graduate and professional programs.
A graduate of this program is prepared to immediately assume challenging positions in: biomedical research, human genetics counseling, agriculture, food products, pharmaceuticals and vaccine development, environment and energy, and forensic science.

A Ph.D. degree usually is necessary for independent research, industrial research, and college teaching, and for advancement to administrative positions. A master's degree is sufficient for some jobs in basic research, applied research or product development, management, or inspection; it may also qualify one to work as a research technician or as a teacher in an aquarium. The bachelor's degree is adequate for some nonresearch jobs. For example, some graduates with a bachelor's degree start as biological scientists in testing and inspection, or get jobs related to biological science, such as technical sales or service representatives. In some cases, graduates with a bachelor's degree are able to work on their own projects in a laboratory environment, but this is unusual. Some may work as research assistants, while others become biological laboratory technicians or, with additional courses in education, high school biology teachers. Many with a bachelor's degree in biology enter medical, dental, veterinary, or other health profession schools.

By carefully planning your undergraduate course work, you can complete the RIT MBA program in as little as one year of additional study after completion of your BS in biotechnology and molecular bioscience. This combination prepares you for management positions in a wide range of scientific and medical organizations.
Despite projected as fast as the average job growth for biological technicians by 2020 , doctoral degree holders can expect to face competition for basic research positions. The federal government funds much basic research and development, including many areas of medical research that relate to biological science. Recent budget increases at the National Institutes of Health have led to large increases in Federal basic research and development expenditures, with research grants growing both in number and in dollar amount. At the same time, the number of newly trained scientists has continued to increase at least as fast as available research funds, so both new and established scientists have experienced difficulty winning and renewing research grants. If the number of advanced degrees awarded continues to grow, as seems likely based on enrollment trends, this competitive situation will persist. Additionally, applied research positions in private industry may become more difficult to obtain if increasing numbers of scientists seek jobs in private industry because of the competitive job market for independent research positions in universities and for college and university faculty.

Research assistant, laboratory technician, clinical lab technologist, assistant/associate, biologist, pharmaceutical sales representative, technical writer, process developer, genetic counselor, and forensic analyst are just a few of the options open to biotechnology and molecular biosciences students.
Biological technicians held about 80,200 jobs in 2010. Federal biological technicians worked mainly for the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Interior, and Defense, and for the National Institutes of Health. Most of the rest worked in scientific research and testing laboratories, the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing industry, or hospitals.

The word libertarian does not mean a person who values unfettered free markets, and a large amount of social freedom. The word was changed (in America) from its European definition where it was used to describe social anarchism (the kind supported by Kroptkin, Bakunin, Malatesta, Makhno and many others, google them if you've never heard of any of them). So in the United States, when most people use the word libertarian, they are not referring to the European meaning (and the true meaning IMO), they are referring to the philosophy of an obscure political party, known as the Libertarian Party (LP). There are libertarians who are not in the LP, but this is the most recognizable political party for libertarians in the U.S. The Libertarian Party describes itself as being for "smaller government", "more freedom", and "lower taxes". The lower taxes (if one has any money with which to pay them), and smaller government might be true, but the more freedom aspect of their program (if they ever got their harebrained schemes through congress) I highly doubt would hold true.
Markets are not the solution to all problems. The expression "free markets" is often misinterpreted to mean that unregulated markets are all that is needed for markets to work their magic and achieve efficient outcomes. Deregulation, or privatization may even move the outcome further from the ideal competitive benchmark rather than closer to it, it depends upon the particulars of the market in question. The conditions for perfect competition have to be approximated as much as possible and sometimes that means the presence - rather than the absence - of government regulation.
Austrian-born free-market economist Friedrich August von Hayek suggested that high taxation would be a "road to serfdom," a threat to freedom itself. There has been a decades long debate between economists and politicians on how to reconcile the unquestioned power of markets with the reassuring protections of a social safety net. Libertarians and conservatives have long argued that the higher taxes needed to fund higher levels of social insurance would cripple the economy. But when Scandinavian social democracies (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) are compared to Anglo-Saxon countries (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S), the Scandinavian countries outperform the Anglo-Saxon ones on most measures of economic performance.
Poverty rates are much lower in the Scandinavian countries, unemployment rates are roughly the same in both groups (though just slightly higher in the Scandinavian countries). The budget situation is stronger in the Scandinavian group, and with larger surpluses as a share of GDP. There are numerous ways, in which the Scandinavian countries manage to keep up their dynamism (despite higher taxes); most importantly, they spend unsparingly on research and development and higher education. All of the Scandinavian countries, but especially Sweden and Finland, have taken to the sweeping revolution in information and communications technology and leveraged it to increase global competitiveness. Sweden now spends nearly 4 percent of GDP on R&D, the highest ratio in the world today. On average, the Nordic nations spend 3 percent of GDP on R&D, compared with only 2 percent in the English-speaking nations.
The Scandinavian countries have also worked to keep social spending compatible with an open, competitive, market-based economic system. Tax rates on capital are relatively low. Labor market policies pay low-skilled and otherwise difficult to employ individuals to work in the service sector, in important quality of life areas such as child care, health, and support for the elderly and disabled. The results for the households at the bottom of the income distribution are astoundingly good, especially in contrast to the mean-spirited prescriptions that now pass for American social policy.
The U.S. spends less than almost all rich countries on social services for poor and disabled individuals, and it gets what it pays for: the highest poverty rate among the rich countries and an exploding prison population. In actuality, by being miserly with public spending on health, the U.S. gets much less than it pays for, because its reliance on private health care has led to a ramshackle system that yields less than desirable results at great costs.
Von Hayek was wrong. In egalitarian democracies, a generous social-welfare state is not a road to serfdom but rather to a just society, economic harmony and international competitiveness. Libertarians, and their schemes of bare bones taxation, and regulation are also wrong. They're not only wrong, but they're blind to economic realities of what taxes and regulation produce.

It's Day 4 of the Connecticut Open where we mark Autism Awareness Day with a series of adaptive tennis and fitness clinics. For the kids aged 14 and under it is also Superhero & Princess Day where all costumed children will receive a free ticket at the gate when accompanied by a paid adult.
Finally, our No.2 seed Dominika Cibulkova makes her 2017 New Haven debut on Aetna night. The first 1,000 fans will receive a special gift at the gate.
Here's our pick of the three matches to watch:
[2] Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) v Alize Cornet (FRA)
Slovak Dominika Cibulkova returns to New Haven for the eighth time where she bids to reach the quarter-finals for a third time. The world No.11 landed the biggest title of her career at last year's WTA Finals in Singapore where she took down then-No.1 Angelique Kerber for the title. A former Australian Open finalist Cibulkova will meet a familiar foe in France's Alize Cornet in her opening match on Tuesday night. The pair has clashed nine times already on tour with Cibulkova holding a 6-3 edge, including a straight-sets triumph in Cincinnati last week. Cornet, though, gained the upper hand when they met in Brisbane in January, en route to the final. Cornet also upset New Haven top seed Agnieszka Radwanska to reach the fourth round on home soil at the French Open this year.
[6] Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (RUS) v Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP)
It's a contrast in styles as the heavy-hitting Russian meets the Spaniard with arguably the finest single-handed backhand on tour. Pavlyuchenkova started the seaon on fire, claiming back-to-back titles in Monterrey and Rabat, the latter of which she defeated then No.1 Angelique Kerber for the title. A quarter-final run at the Australian Open made it a complete set of last-eight appearances at the four Grand Slams. Pavlyuchenkova will carry an imposing 7-1 head-to-head ledger into this clash. It has been a season marred by a shoulder injury for former world No.6, Suarez Navarro. It will be her fifth quarter-final showing of the season.
Ana Bogdan (ROM) v Kirsten Flipkens (BEL)
In an unlikely battle of the qualifiers it is 2013 Wimbledon semi-finalist Kirsten Flipkens and Romanian world No.127 Ana Bogdan bidding for their second quarter-final berth of their season. The 76th-ranked Belgian reached the last eight in Acapulco, while Bogdan reached the semi-finals on home soil in Bucharest. Both women are on a five-match winning streak after their qualifying exploits, with Bogdan coming off a first-round upset of fifth seed Elena Vesnina. She will face a different prospect in Flipkens, with her crafty slices and net charges. It is the pair's first tour meeting.

With our 26 plus years of experience in this industry we have gathered the top 10 frequently asked questions.
FAQ 1: Can my car be converted to LP Gas?
A 1: Yes, in most cases it can be.
FAQ 2: Is LP gas safe?
A 2: All fuels must be treated with respect. In most cases LPG is a lot safer than petrol.
FAQ 3: Would running my car on LPG damage my engine?
A 3: No most certainly not. The opposite is true. Running your vehicle on LPG will actually prolong the life of your engine. Just look at the oil condition after 10,000 km's. You will find the oil is as clean as the day you put it in 10,000 km's ago.
FAQ 4: Would I loose power if I convert to LPG?
A 4: A standard air valve LPG conversion would generally lose about 10% in power this would only be noticeable under load.
No power loss at all for the superior Gas Vapour Injection (GVI) system.
FAQ 5: What would the economy be like?
A 5: A standard air valve LPG conversion would generally lose about 8% to 10% in economy compared to petrol.
A superior Gas Vapour Injection (GVI) system would be similar in economy to petrol counterpart.
FAQ 6: Can I change over from one fuel to another?
A 6: Yes you can. This can be achieved at idle or when you are driving.
FAQ 7: Do I have a gauge that indicates the LPG level?
A 7: Yes you will be provided with a flush mounted modern looking LED combination switch / gauge.
FAQ 8: Where will the LPG tank fit?
A 8: In sedans the LPG tank will be installed under the parcel shelf in the boot. If you have a station wagon, we can usually install the LPG tank in place of the spare wheel. For commercial vehicles and four wheel drives. The LPG tank will be mounted under the vehicle.
FAQ 9: What size will the LPG tank be?
A 9: This will depend on the make and model of the car. Our rule is to put the largest capacity without compromising a lot of space.
FAQ 10: Where will the filler valve be?
A 10. : This will depend on the make and model of the car. Our rule is to put the LPG filler inside the same compartment as the petrol filler.

*Approximate minimum fluidization velocity based on water at 10° C (50° F) with anthracite density = 1.65 g/cm3.
Furthermore, with CEI Anthracite, there is less stratification of the smaller sized grains on top of a layer and larger sized grains at the bottom. There is more tendency for the carious-sized grains to mix, rather than to stratify. This is particularly evident if the d90/d10 ration is 1.3 or less for the anthracite.
CEI Anthracite would provide similar advantages in lower backwash rates for tri-media beds using low uniformity coefficient CEI Anthracite. This is a particular advantage for those designers who prefer to minimize the extent of mixing between adjacent layers in tri-media filters.
CEI Anthracite also benefits mono-media filters with coarse grain size that are usually backwashed with air and water simultaneously below fluidization velocity. During this sub-fluidized backwash, the media migrates slowly from top to bottom and from bottom to top assisting in the release of solids from the bed. Such migration of media is encouraged by provision of low uniformity coefficient media.

Videos Oslo Tango Sommerball | 01
The 5th June 2010 I was the invited tango dj for the Oslo Tango Sommerball 2010 organized by Oslo Tango Verksted (OTV).
I arrived in the morning at the Oslo Gardermoen Airport. The weather was beautiful and I spend a calm afternoon in Cathrine's garden.
Around 3 p.m. we went to the venue of the Oslo Tango Sommerball and prepared the tables and the milonga. Around 6.30 p.m. the participants arrived with the boat and we could enjoy the buffet. Everyone was eager to dance and therefore I started already 8:30 p.m. with my music.
During the milonga I took some videos. Two of them from the beginning of the milonga you see here.
More videos from the Oslo Tango Sommerball 2010 will be published the following days at 12 a.m.

After development period and a building time of two years, the Conrad C133 named Viatoris, will be not only the largest yacht to-date for the Conrad Shipyard, but also the largest luxury motoryacht ever built in Poland. Following sea trials, Viatoris will be handed over to her owner before the summer season, after which she will be premiered at the Monaco Yacht Show 2018.
Reymond Langton Design was commissioned by Conrad Shipyard to create this graceful 40-meter luxury yacht for an experienced yachtsman and repeat client of the yard. The design brief was for an elegant, yet aggressive vessel that has modern and unique lines, which will remain timelessly stylish. Built to the highest Northern European standards, she features finest luxury interiors and a layout with elements of a much larger yacht. Conrad Shipyard is pleased to announce that this harmonious marriage between the prestigious design by Britain's Reymond Langton and proven naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design of the Netherlands, in partnership with Conrad Shipyard's world class Polish engineering and craftsmanship, is now offered as a semi-custom model.
With a focus on safety, quality, and efficiency, this full-displacement luxury motor yacht was engineered to meet the most demanding technical and safety standards of Lloyd's Register and MCA. Built with a robust steel hull and a light aluminum superstructure, we worked with the most trusted specialists, consultants, and surveyors, using only the best equipment available. The result is a luxury yacht that can safely, efficiently, and comfortably cross the Atlantic while being operated by a relatively small crew.
Luxury and highest quality has been the guiding theme throughout this outstanding vessel, and the interior design and finishing are no different. Designed by Conrad Shipyard's in-house design team in close cooperation with the owner, the interiors boast finest materials and elegant yet understated design details, which are both aesthetic and functional. Decorations were sourced from Europe's top design houses in London, Milan, and Paris. Conrad Shipyard's design team happily works directly with the owner, or designer of choice, to create custom interiors to meet our clients' vision.
Viatoris will be presented at the Monaco Yacht Show 2018 and will be available for visits while she is here at the shipyard in Gdansk, Poland.

Two of the world's largest sailing yachts, Eos and Athena, have booked the same timing for their coming refit projects.The 93-metre three-masted Lürssen schooner Eos, until recently the world's largest sailing yacht, has for some time been a regular customer for Royal Huisman's superyacht refit division, Huisfit. The Eos team has just signed a new contract with Huisfit, taking full advantage of the flexible choice of deep water location offered to meet their needs and schedule.At the same time, the Huisfit team is delighted to announce that the 90-metre three masted schooner Athena, built by Royal Huisman in 2004 and with a seriously impressive log book of globe-circling adventures, has booked the same timing for her latest refit programme. In 2014 the Huisfit team also took care of various aesthetic and technical updates by sending its own 'flying squad' of specialist personnel out to Athena during a stopover in the Mediterranean.Athena arrived on 6th of August and Eos is expected later this summer. Both yachts will be at a deep seawater location in Holland for several months during the winter "refit season".

German shipbuilder Lurssen launched their first superyacht in the year 2018 in Rendsburg - 111-metre project TIS. Next, she will be outfitted, before her sea trials. This massive volume yacht, Project TIS was commissioned for a long-time charter client of Moran Yacht & Ship, who has over the past seven years, chartered some of the largest and highest quality motor yachts in the world. This experience has led to owner input on nearly every level, from guest accommodations to propulsion package selection, all the way to crew area design.With an interior and exterior styling by Andrew Winch Design, Project TIS will feature 2 helicopter pads, a 12 meter swimming pool, a resort inspired spa in the aft of the vessel, and palatial staircases that to date have only been seen in palaces. Her tender garage will accommodate 2 13 meter tenders, 2 additional 10 meter tenders, a submarine, and a abundant selection of other water toys. Lack of space will not be an issue for this family-oriented owner. In addition to a massive private owner's deck, eleven other guests staterooms will accommodate twenty-two additional guests in absolute comfort.TIS is expected to be delivered later this year.All photos by Klaus Jordan.

54-metre superyacht Mischief was launched in 2006 by Italian shipyard Baglietto and was regularly refitted, with the latest in 2018. With newly painted French Navy hull and white boot stripes, her racy lines cuts a sleek form on the water. Her interiors are just as special - the dramatic use of white reflective surfaces accented with blues and blacks gives her a real sense of identity. Large photographs of stars of the screen, music and fashion add to the relaxed, fun feel.Mischief accommodates 12 guests in 6 cabins including a luxurious full-beam master suite, 3 VIP double guest cabins and 2 twin guest cabins. Timeless styling, beautiful furnishings and sumptuous seating feature throughout her living areas to create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. Her crew quarters are for 14 people. The spaces are fashion-forward rather than formal, inviting relaxation and enjoyment. The main salon features a large marble bar, with back-lit mirrored wine and glass racks - a theme found in two further wine stores within the cabins. The upper deck sky lounge is yet another bright white space, with curving glass bays inviting you out to the dining and eating areas on the aft deck. One of the VIP cabins also enjoys this vantage point. The full master suite lies forward on the main deck, with two further large doubles and smaller twins on the lower deck. These twin rooms would be great for children - and with beam all the entertainment on offer they'll barely spend any time in their cabins - or get up to Mischief! The twin cabins aslo convert to super kings in the case there may be a full group of adult couples on board. Mischief's impressive leisure and entertainment facilities make her ideal yacht for socialising and entertaining with family and friends, as well as a good option for charter. She boasts sundeck gym equipment, eight-person Sienna SPA Pool, state of the art audiovisual equipment, extensive water toys including a Jet Skis, Jetlev, flyboard, fishing gear, Seabobs and Paddleboards. The inflatable slide lets you slip off the bow, then you can to climb back up via the over-water climbing wall or take to the floating pontoons from the stern where you can relax on loungers right on the water.She features an ultra-modern stabilization system that reduces roll motion effect and ensure the ultimate comfort throughout the cruise. With a cruising speed of 17 knots, a maximum speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,500nm from her 90,000-litre fuel tanks, she is the perfect combination of performance and luxury.Mischief underwent an extensive 2015/2016 refit which included new carpets, new furniture and TVS throughout, deck updates and installation of the latest in AV technology. Her refit in 2017 saw her addition of a stunning new cocktail bar and a 3x2m video wall in the main salon. And most recently, in 2018, Mischief had it latest refit. Mischief is asking € 24,000,000.

Weird News : Contagion that he is giving everything up and going to live in hiding in a sterile bunker? If so, the film he'll be leaving behind is a startling if somewhat cold and sterile thriller itself about a deadly virus that threatens to decimate the world's population. It is a well-made film about the birth of a pandemic caused by Gwyneth Paltrow that spreads like wildfire, and the internet–fueled panic that spreads even faster. As well made as Contagion is, its insistence on being unsentimental and clinical leaves you unmoved by the characters and oddly distanced from caring about them.
Starting in blackness as we hear Minneapolis executive Beth Emhoff (Paltrow) cough before we see her sweaty face and casual touching of bar nuts, her credit card and drink that will soon become carriers of the disease. It is set in an airport, so we know that Beth will soon prove every germaphobe right. Beth has just cheated on her schlubby husband Mitch (Matt Damon)

|Cycling Georgia back in 2009
|Trundling along the Danube, 2015
Just a quick update from our little pocket of tropical island life here. Most of you, my faithful readers, are already aware of big changes coming in my life, but for those of you not yet aware, our time here in Bali is rapidly drawing to a close. Not forever, mind you; Terri is keeping her house here which has been such a great place to base ourselves over the past year. I've loved living here, doing lots of diving and snorkelling in the ocean and running and cycling in the mountains, and writing. I'm halfway through the second draft of my book on my Silk Road cycle trip, having written almost the entire first draft here in my writing eyrie perched high on a hill overlooking the waters and sailboats of the Bali Sea. It has been the perfect spot to write, and I am frantically trying to get through the hard work of the second draft before I lose this base. We will certainly be back here in the future, probably living here again in a few years' time.
|Sailing in Finland with my friend JP, 2015
|Atop another hair-raising climb on the GR20 in Corsica
In February, when I was at the northern tip of the North Island of New Zealand with Terri, I received an offer from an international high school in Tbilisi, Georgia to teach science and mathematics there. It's been almost 3 years since I last taught, and I've enjoyed my "pretirement": cycle trips along the Danube and through Scandinavia; hiking in the Pyrenees and Corsica; a cruise to the Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula; cycling in Chile, Argentina and Paraguay; working on Terri's pre-school in Zambia; our year-long African odyssey in Stanley; diving here in Indonesia and qualifying as a PADI Open Water SCUBA Instructor; hiking in New Zealand. Of course, there was also the less fun aspect of my father's death last July, although being free to help nurse him through his final months was an important part of saying goodbye to him.
|Happy in Antarctica
|Terri and some of the staff and students of Olive Tree
|Riding the Carretera Austral, Chile
At any rate, I have had an incredible time on the travel front with Terri, and there is so much more that I want to do: drive Stanley all the way around Africa; hike the fabulous mountains of Central Asia; explore Central America, northern South America and Brazil. However after 3 years on the road, the sad realities of economic life dictate that I need to earn some money, and while I would have liked teaching SCUBA diving, teaching high school is a much more lucrative profession, particularly on the international circuit, and Georgia is one of the few countries that I was willing to come out of pretirement for. I cycled in Georgia in 2009 and 2011, and skied there in 2015, and every time I really enjoyed the feel of the country, the culture, the people and the amazing Caucasus Mountains. I accepted the job, and so in August I will be moving to Tbilisi along with Terri to start a two-year commitment. I am looking forward immensely to living in Georgia: the food, the wine, the opportunities to hike and ski, the chance to polish up my Russian and learn some Georgian, and of course getting to try to inspire young minds to love mathematics and science. I am very excited indeed.
|Wild camping in Botswana
Before we go, however, we are heading back to Namibia to pick up Stanley and take him for a spin for the next 7 weeks. He's been parked in Windhoek, and we want to do more exploring of Namibia, a country that we really enjoyed last year despite having to curtail our travels because of my father's illness. The plan is to drive less and stay longer in the various spots that we visit, particularly in the northwestern deserts. It will be wonderful to restart Stanley's Travels, if only briefly.
I want to spend July in Ottawa, visiting my mother and working on my book under her eagle-eyed editorial supervision, before flying to Tbilisi at the end of the month. I have to nip over to Switzerland to pick up my skis and other winter sports gear that I stored in Leysin back in 2015, and then I will have a little over a week of liberty before orientation for new staff begins at the school. I would like to spend that week exploring some corner of the Caucasus on foot with Terri; I have done plenty of cycling but not nearly enough walking in Georgia, and it's time to remedy that. I would like to explore a leg of the newly-developing Trans-Caucasian Trail system, perhaps linking Tusheti and Khevsureti, or maybe between Racha and Lentekhi. There is so much stupendous mountain scenery to explore that I am sure we will be kept busy every weekend for the next couple of years.
|Damaraland, Namibia
The plan for next summer is to go to Kyrgyzstan, my other favourite Silk Road country, and do some serious trekking there: Lake Sary-Chelek; the Inylchek Glacier; the Turkestan Range in Batken province. I'd also like to have a couple of weeks left over for more Caucasus trekking as well. Then in 2020, when my time in Georgia comes to an end, I want to go back to Africa to take Stanley on his longest trip yet, up the west side of Africa to Europe, and back down the east side to South Africa.
|Moremi, Botswana
So much to see, so little time! I hope to see some of you, my faithful readers, in Georgia for some skiing, some cycling, some hiking or some wine-tasting over the next two years, and I hope you continue to follow my adventures here online.

FOUR young Boarshaw boxers gained unanimous decisions in the English Schoolboys Championships.
The lads fought at Preston Leisure Centre against tough opposition.
James Barker celebrated his 14th birthday by reaching the semi-finals of the competition with an emphatic win over Northside's Anthony Leak.
Grant Brown took on Lancaster Boys Club's Philip Fury who had no answer to Brown's speed and strength.
Ronnie Heffron was dominant in his bout against Burnley's Shane Singleton, while Ronnie's younger brother Mark was equally impressive in his victory over Furness Catholic Club's Billy Garrick.
The fearsome foursome did their coaches and colleagues at Boarshaw proud, and club coach Ben Lancaster said: "The lads have been training hard for their matches and four unanimous decisions in four fights speaks volumes for the talent that we have here in Boarshaw."

text: The Saints never held a Major League affiliation... in fact no one in the league did during the first 4 years of the Georgia State League's existance. The team was however loaded with talent and Woodrow Bottoms led the Saints to 1st place in the "new" Georgia State League's first season. In fact they were so good (finishing with a 81-37, .686 record), that the second place Baxley Red Sox finished 16 games out of 1st place. Sparta would take on the Eastman Dodgers in the first round of the playoffs.

We released two new versions of the VoIP sensors that can be pointed to Azure or Amazon Web Services public regions for testing Private Site to Cloud VoIP communications and capabilities. These sensors can be helpful in understanding UDP/VoIP/Audio performance via external relay/media servers.
Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is a measure of the quality of an audio call computed by taking into account Jitter, Packet Loss and Latency between the caller and callee (the sensor and the receiver). We've added this MOS metric to the VoIP Sensors for estimating call quality and testing the capabilities of your network.

New sensors for Slack, Yammer and Microsoft Teams were released in BETA. These new sensors are more sophisticated then our WebLogin sensor - they create a test group or channel and, for each sensor run, post, read and delete a message within the monitoring channel. This ensures that the applications and your tenant are receiving and delivering messages from bots, integrations and other users.
The new sensors support federated or managed (cloud) logins across most Single Sign-On (SSO) providers. Some of the new metrics captured are:

A new CloudReady RDP sensor was released in BETA. The RDP sensor continuously automates an RDP client to sign into remote sessions, launch an application and measure the responsiveness of these interactions.
By synthetically testing RDS, Terminal Services and Citrix XenApp you can measure the up-time and performance of these critical environments to ensure optimal end-user experiences. The CloudReady RDP sensor, alongside our Management API, can also be used for load-testing.
Here are some the metrics that are captured by the RDP Sensor:

Mbongo Tchobi is a traditional Cameroonian stew made primarily with fish and often with meat including goat, lamb and beef. Mbongo refers to both the seasoning mix and dish itself. Mbongo is a very pungeant spice from the family of pepper. It uses a traditional West AFrican spice called Alligator pepper that is roasted or gently burnt to get the black color and release one of the most fragrant scent and taste ever.
Our Mbongo recipe is made with goat but can use fish as well. Because of scarcity of ingredient, I advise that you custom order your blend for this recipe so I can prepare it for you.
3 pounds of meat or white fish cut up in steaks or pieces of your choice
3 tbs of Afro Fusion Cuisine Njansan ( Apki)==> Need to call 2 weeks ahead to custom order
1 cup of diced onion
1/2 cup of tomatoes diced
¼ cup of fresh parsley finely chopped
½ cup basil finely chopped
2 teaspoon of fresh cloves of garlic finely chopped
4 tablespoons of green onions finely chopped
½ – 1 cup vegetable oil
4-6 tablespoons Afro Fusion Cuisine mbongo spice –> Need to call 2 weeks ahead to custom order
1-tablespoon bouillon powder or 2 Maggi cubes
Salt to taste
1. Chop the tomatoes, onions, green onions and place in a food processor or blender- add Afro Fusion njansan (Apki), garlic, basil, parsley with a little bit of water if using a blender to facilitate blending. Blend until puree.
2. Heat up a saucepan with oil, then add the tomatoes mixture, with very little water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
3. Add Afro Fusion Cuisine mbongo spice, fish or meat, Maggi and salt to the mixture; simmer on low fire until your fish or meat minutes is cooked through. Add water as necessary to prevent burns.
4. Adjust for seasonings with salt or Maggi. You are supposed to have a thick, rich and yummy stew.
You can Serve warm with boiled plantains.

CASSELBERRY — Traffic jams and muck at three Seminole County schools could test the patience of students, teachers and parents returning Monday from the summer break.
New roadways and a parking area are waiting to be paved at English Estates Elementary School in Fern Park. Obstructions and construction may force cars and buses dropping off children to drive along a congested Oxford Road and, once on the campus, along sandy or muddy driveways, past unfilled water holes and road graders.
